Summer is when we allow ourselves to have more fun, spend more time in the great outdoors under the big ol’ sun, and indulge in more adventuring and relaxation. However, once fall rolls around, we have explored beaches and lakes, trails and city streets, and our skin — sadly — has taken a beating. Your skin has to go through a lot: sun’s rays, heat, and humidity, coupled with indoor air-conditioning, sand, and saltwater at the beach, plus chlorinated pool water. In other words, summer takes its toll on our skin, says Vanessa Coppola, FNP-BC.
